Strands #195

“Elements of style”

Hi Strands fans. It's fair to say that my concept of fashion isn't especially refined, and the closest I get to ACCESSORIZING is changing my leather everyday Apple Watch band to a sweat-proof one for running.

Nonetheless, I found today's Strands fairly straightforward, aided by spotting JEWELRY in the top-left corner right off the bat.

When combined with GLASSES and WATCH below it, the theme of of the puzzle was pretty obvious, which led to me getting the long and snaky spangram to the right: ACCESSORIZING. That left four letters isolated on the left-hand side, which spelt out BELT.

Two answers were left to find on the right of the grid. I found HANDBAG spelt downwards in the bottom corner, which cleared the way to write SCARF at the top. Nice and simple - if only accessorizing were that easy.
